Today, Puma Golf announced its release of the Faas Lite Mesh 2.0, a comfortable performance sneaker disguised as a golf shoe. Weighing just 6.8 ounces, the 2.0’s are lightweight, versatile, spikeless, and changing the feel of footwear on the golf course.

The 2.0 model takes features from the original Faas Lite Mesh shoes, and combines them with different style, additional heel comfort, bonded construction and thermoplastic urethane (TPU) support. New enhancements on the shoe will increase comfort and stability for on-course performance and off-course enjoyment.

The Faas Lite 2.0 combines technology with comfort and style, creating a shoe that you will want to wear whether you’re walking 36, grabbing dinner with your friends after a round, or even heading to the gym,” said Grant Knudson, head of footwear for Puma Golf.” The 2.0 version includes new, strategically placed support pieces that provides increased stability and added support during your swing.”

Puma Golf utilizes technology in areas of comfort, performance, and visual appeal in their newest release. A single layer of mesh enhances breathability and reduces weight, while SmartQuil traction provides directional grip elements to improve stability and ground contact. An Ortholite Sockliner provides increased cushioning, and a stitchless, mid-foot support paddle lends added reinforcement throughout the golf swing.

Also featured in the shoe is FaasFoam+, a blend of foam and rubber that is 25 percent lighter than previously used foam, according to the company. EverFoam in the collar allows the shoe to shape around the contours of a golfers’ foot, and a new mesh tongue increases comfort and further breathability. A high abrasion resistant carbon rubber on the bottom of the shoe ensures lasting durability.

With an MSRP of $90, the Faas Lite Mesh will be available on June 1 in three colorways, Turbulence/White/Grenadine, White/Black/Crimson and White/Turbulence. Each shoe comes with two lace options allowing golfers to customize the look they want.

New Level launches new 480-DB irons, blending performance and forgiveness

Published

Brian Knudson

New Level has been making some really good golf equipment since the company started up in 2018. Offering irons that are more geared towards the better player, precision has been a fundamental philosophy for New Level in creating irons and wedges.

The 480 line of irons has been the flagship of the brand, and the newest member of that team is the 480-DB iron that is now open to pre-orders. A new cavity design is what the whole 480 line is about, and the 480-DB takes advantage of that with added ball speed and a larger sweet spot.

For players who require their irons to offer the best feel, rest assured the DB is a fully forged (from 1020 carbon steel) one-piece golf club. No multi-piece, hollow design with this iron.

While the 480-DB is the next generation of the popular 902-OS, New Level didn’t follow the current trend in golf by chasing distance with the new iron. They actually weakened the lofts on the 480-DB with the spec sheet showing a 33-degree 7-iron and 45-degree pitching wedge. These lofts allow the DB to have less offset while still offering consistent distance off the face.

A traditional design was also at the forefront of the new irons to make sure that golfers with an eye for detail can look down at them with confidence that they will perform under any condition.

A weight low in the back cavity will allow their master club builders to dial in the perfect weight for the golfer, no matter the length or shaft being used. New Level believes that the new 480-DB is one of the most forgiving one-piece forged irons on the market today. A pre-worn leading edge on the sole should get through the turf quickly and with reduced digging for better turf interaction.

You can pre-order the New Level 480-DB right now on the New Level website.
